No wonder i have an asthma attack.. the fine dust levels are skyrocketing in my backyard due to fireworks.

To be honest, with #longcovid & #severeasthma i am not really looking forward to new year’s eve. It will be a day where #pacing and taking rest will be extremely difficult, a crash is to be expected as my available points (cronocarecoach.com ) remain the same but the day is longer. #chronicillness

crono care coach is now live in the apple app store.
Register your triggers and activities with points, score & color each day
An app (built by someone with longcovid) that helps you with #pacing and #energymanagement. Built for any #chronicillness such as #severeasthma #longcovid #mecfs

Take control of your chronic condition | Pieter-Jan Nefkens The post I am writing today has a lot of meaning to me. I have completed one of my year ambitions and I am incredibly proud of the result. Because Apple has approved the App that I have created, calle...

This share from a linkedIn post has a lot of meaning to me. An app that i have been working on for the past years that contains the things that helped me with #longcovid #severeasthma & #pacing is now live in the app store.
It helped me getting to where i am today.

I’ve come across plenty, dhcp server, mail, web, database, domain controllers.. all my servers & serving containers have static ipv6

Oh this is all in the network config and operating servers. No app config . That is all dns

Though if you enter v6 addresses frequently enough, it will get into your muscle memory.. and use logic numbering for servers. That prefix will become muscle memory. Really

Agreed. Yet at the same time i must say that google’s focus for ads means that the creditability of google results has dropped significantly.
Must say the research option gives good decent results

It has been almost 3 years since i last saw this view. It will be mine for the coming 8 weeks of #severeasthma rehab in the swiss mountains. 🤞 for a good period to get back up on my feet and refind balance #longcovid

🧬 The largest-ever ME/CFS biological study finds consistent blood abnormalities tied to inflammation, insulin resistance & liver dysfunction—not explained by inactivity.

“Het is nu tijd voor een inhaalslag, voor biomedisch onderzoek, voor meer kennis van zaken. De overheid en universiteiten moeten daarom flink gaan investeren in onderzoek naar PAIS.”

This is in line with other dutch research from jan ‘24 that showed that the mitochrondia in the muscle cells (and presumably all cells) do not function properly.

Abstract Patients with long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) suffer from a reduced exercise capacity, skeletal muscle abnormalities and post-exertional malaise (PEM), where symptoms worsen with cognitive or physical exertion. PEM often results in avoidance of physical activity, resulting in a lower aerobic fitness, which may contribute to skeletal muscle abnormalities. Here, we compared whole-body exercise responses and skeletal muscle adaptations after strict 60-day bed rest in healthy people with those in patients with long COVID and ME/CFS, and healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Bed rest altered the respiratory and cardiovascular responses to (sub)maximal exercise, while patients exhibited respiratory alterations only at submaximal exercise. Bed rest caused muscle atrophy, and the reduced oxidative phosphorylation related to reductions in maximal oxygen uptake. Patients with long COVID and ME/CFS did not have muscle atrophy, but had less capillaries and a more glycolytic fibers, none of which were associated with maximal oxygen uptake. While the whole-body aerobic capacity is similar following bed rest compared to patients, the skeletal muscle characteristics differed, suggesting that physical inactivity alone does not explain the lower exercise capacity in long COVID and ME/CFS

Important new research from the Netherlands:

Skeletal muscle properties in long COVID and ME/CFS differ from those induced by bed rest

Living with a chronic illness is tough. Today 3 colleagues threw a retirement party. it was planned months ahead,it allowed me to pal around it and have enough room tomorrow to recover.And then the weather changed, triggering my asthma, so i had to cancel something i was looking forward to.

So recognizable. We are often really our own worst enemy

The @cisco.com Agile Services Networking looks to simplify the Networking Architecture for the Enterprise, what do think? @techfieldday.com #TFDx #CiscoLiveEMEA

Found a neat trick on iPhone that I just shared: nefkens.net/securing-app...

Digital Sovereignty/Sovereign cloud explained - Pieter-Jan Nefkens Digital sovereignty or sovereign cloud are becoming buzzwords. In this post I'll explain what digital sovereignty and sovereign cloud is about.

Finally took the time to write the blog post on #DigitalSovereignty and #SovereignCloud , explaining the term, its concepts and models.

Well it is also a good way to effectively disable that isp forced wifi on 160MHz from ruining your channel plan ;-)

Honored that i have been invited for @techfieldday.com extra at #CLEUR . Looking forward to learn and write about it

Have you heard about #mDNS? It's one of those protocols that go under the radar, but that can really wreak havoc on your network if you don't manage it.

While mainly used for consumer stuff, expect to see it in your network. It uses link local multicast so gets flooded at L2.
